The Sports World Doesn't Only Revolve Around Baseball and Football

Well here we are in the beginning of baseball season, and things are looking good for the Phillies, as they should be. There is no football, and there is a lockout in the NFL, so its possible there may not be any football to talk about for a while. Surprisingly, there are two other successful sports teams in Philadelphia, of which I never really write.

Tonight, the Flyers begin the playoffs against the Sabres. Honestly, I am not qualified to give my input whatsoever on this subject. I can't say that I ever really got into hockey, and honestly, I may not have ever watched a regular season game fully through. But it is still interesting to watch them in the playoffs, which I intend to do for the most part. But I will not be a bandwagon fan who claims that I've been with them through and through. But regardless, I'll root for Philly. There is actually a huge following of EXTREMELY loyal Flyers fans throughout the Philadelphia area. Honestly, I think that Flyers fans may be the most devout of all Philadelphia fans. So it'll be nice to see the city erupt into madness if anything happens. Go Flyers!

In the basketball world, the Sixers will be starting the playoffs soon. Yes, you did not misread that last sentence. THE SIXERS! Never in a million years would I have thought that the Sixers would make anything of this season, or honestly any season in the post-Iverson era. Furthermore, they will be playing the one and only Miami Heat. This series promises to be extremely entertaining. I can't wait for it. The young, scrappy, Sixers will be facing off against what many people argued would be the best team in history before this season. Furthermore, it will be awesome to see LeBron hopefully crap the bed and maybe watch the Sixers cruise into the next round. Honestly, I can't wait. Also, it is great that for some reason the whole entire nation has adopted the Sixers as the fan favorite. Everybody has their eyes on them, hoping to watch them topple the great Miami Heat and LeBron.


So, contrary to my usual routine, I managed to blog about the Flyers and the Sixers. It should be an exciting upcoming weeks to see what both teams can do.
